We´re in the Bay of Cadiz and we`ve experienced our first rain for seven and a half weeks - eat your heart out in UK!! We had exciting thunderstoms whilst at anchor and the winds reached nearly 40 knots but we were quite safe on Fiona. We are currently treating ouselves to a few nights in Rota marina - the only nights in a marina for nealy a month. The city is very beautiful with tiny narrow streets with covered moorish arches. We`re only 60 miles from Africa here so we´re really feeling the heat! As its only 4 miles from Cadiz, we can visit the city by fast catamaran in a few minutes. There are also good beaches and anchorages and the area has plenty of interesting towns such as Jerez and Seville within easy reach so we´re tempted to stay here for a while - maybe for winter? It`s a good place for people to come out and see us - any offers?
